How One of Their Posters Caused
Bernhardt to Lose Her Temper.
From he ChicnoO Neirs.

From the Chicago NeicS.
When Sara Bernhardt drove up in front of the
Columbia Theatre last Saturday evening and
waited for her ancient and tardy valet to come
to assist her from her coopay she was ineffably
shocked to see a monstrous three-shect poster
pasted up on the bill board at the entrance TO
the theatre. This poster announced lin the
seven colors of Iris,) that beginning with the
morrow night and continuing for week there
after, Blythe's Only Original and Genuine Geor-
gia MINISTRIES would hold high carnival upon the
boards which the divine Sara herself had hal
lowed with her tread. The divine Sara is, as
perhaps the public is aware, not the most even
tempered creature in the world; this tawdry pro
fanation sent the bile courSing through every
artery and vein in her system. When her zen
t,ts secondHs came to her she gaspea IN onG
dew" then she cried par blew" and
moment thereafter she shrieked ''sackrer blew. y
Immediately following this monosyllabic triogy
there burst from her pale, thin lips stentOran
soliloquy which we shall not attempt to record
suffice it to say that it partook SO largely of
the character of the predatory eXpietiyeS that
the atmosphere circumambient and circum)a-
cent was blue" in fact to use the French for
it, tray blew Monsure Alphonse the ancient
lacquey, came bustling from the theatre to find
his sweet mistress tottering las it were) upon
the very verge of Mysteries, and great was his
CONSERVATION. Manager j. n. Hill too, rushed
down from his private office-bounding five
steps at time-and in a moment was at the
door of the coopay.
"Mong dew" moaned Sara, with her lips and
nostrils fiecked with foam.
TELL me-" demanded Col. Hill, ''tell me what
has happened! Has anybody squeezed her hand?
Has any passing loafer winked at her: l have
been expecting some spicy denoomong all the
week-tor heavens sake, speak, woman, and
tell me if it has come at lastr'
But all that Sara could do was to point one
quivering index finger at the awful three-sheet
poster and sob ''mong dew"
do what" asked Col. Hill.
Par blew cried Sara.
But what did he blowm' demanded the now
thoroughly aroused manager.
''Oh, Eat bill-zat meenstril BILL" moaned
Sara. Il link he shall make me to die"
Die? Bill? What mean you, mong Share?'
asked the Colonel in the imprisoned, lute-like
tones of Romeo climbing up Margaret Capu
let's rope ladder.
For week." said Sara, bitterly 81 hat been

time and do him tonight againl Is zis not an
eensult to re great Sara to put zs rneenstril bill

down toot sweet else do not play tonight"
Sara meant it, too She was assisted into her
dressing-room and was placed on a sofa, where
she lay gasping and sobbing and plucling out
her hair in a wild, foreign way. There was but
one alternative; the three-sheet poster had to
come down.

Going for the Supreme Court.
From Washington Letter to Cincinnati 7

From Washington Letter to Cincinnati En-
qttrer
o. P. McMains, a rather eccentric gentleman
who used to be preacher in Illinois, who has
since been claim agent, and who signs himself
as agent for the settlers on the Maxwell land
grant case, has addressed an open letter to the
Justices of the Supreme Court The following
paragraphs are quoted to show how an Ameri-
can citizen can sass the highest judicial tri-
bunal in the land when he sets his mind to it:
Because of your recent decision in the Max
well land grant case, l have not the honor to
address you as pureminded jurisUs to whom we,
as Western settlers, can bow with respect

The South Broad Street Cemetery.

Another grand jury has called attention
to The neglected and unsightly condition of
the old cemetery on South Broad street, and
has recommended that steps be taken to
utilize it for county purposes 1t is unnec-
essary to enumerate the grand juries
which have pointed out the necessity for
improving the ground occupied by that old
graveyard. 1t is enough to say that the
number is sufficient to justify the statement
that public sentiment is strongly in favor of
having the old walls and tombs removed.
the remains OF the dead transferred to other
cemeteries and the place improved 1t
might be pertinent TO inquire how long the
public must wait for those to act in the
matter who are authorized to do so. IL
authority is lodged anywhere TO make the
improvement why not exercise it, What is
the use of waiting year after year when the
thing can be done nowas well as ten or twenty
years hencea If there isn't any authority
let that fact be understood and then grand
iuries can direct their efforts to securing
such legislation as will give somebody the
authority.
The impression is that the City Council
can order the walls and tombs removed
for sanitary reasons. If it can't. let it
get authority to do so from the Legislature.
This constant agitation without action is
getting to be nonotonous, and even tire
some 1t shows an Indifference and lack
Of public spirit that are entirely neon
sistent with the progress the city is now
making.
VT is said that there is suit in court
which prevents anything from being done
to improve the cemetery. Well why isn't
the suit called up and disposedof. 1t has GER
tainly been in court long enough to permit
all parties to get ready to try it, A
part of the cemetery is claimed by Christ
church. Let the claim be tested at once.
and il it is valid one let the church have
what belongs to it. 1t is doubtful if there
is a desire anywhere to deprive the church
of any Of its property. What the public
wants is that the old cemetery shall not
continue TO be neglected, unusued and an
unsightly graveyard 1t wants the place
utilized and made attractive. Let the city
authorities see IL they cannot comply with
public sentiment with regard to it before
another grand jury has chance to report
upon it.

Be Careful.

FROM me OetfOU Ffee fTeSS
Be careful what you SOW, boys
For seed will surely grow, boySi
The dew will fall,
The rain will splash,
The clouds will darken,
And the sunshine fash,
And the boy who sows good seed to-day
Shall reap the crop tomorrow.
Be careful what you SOW, girlsl
For every seed will grow, girls!
Though it may fall
Where you cannot know,
Yet in summer and shade
1t viii surely grow
And the girl who sows good seed today
Shall reap the crop tomorrow.
Be careful what you SOW, boys!
For the weeds will surely grow, boys!
If you plant bad seed
By the wayside high,
You must reap the harvest
By and by,
And the boy who sows wild oats to-day
Must reap the wild oats tomorrow.
Be careful what you sow, girlsl
For all the bad will grow, girlsi
And the girl who now,
With careless hand,
Is scattering thistleS
Over the land,
Must know that, whatever she sows to-day,
She must reap the same tomorrow.
Then let us SOW good seeds now!
And not the briers and weeds now!
That when the harvest
For us shall come,
We may have good sheaves
To carry home.
For the seed we SOW in our lives to-day
Shall grow and bear fruit tomorrow.

as Mr.. Thornton in?'' II
The answer was not audible '''
"See If he's in."
Those who heard the voice and did not see the
speaker thought il was John j., Sullivan But
II was not. 1t was only Secretary Evarts, as
thin as a shadow, notwithstanding the black
overcoat that hung in folds from his dropping
shoulders, the wide trousers that wobbled about
his thin legs and the big silk hat that took in the
back. Although when in silence and repose the
New York Senator looks feeble and almost fos-
SLICED, yet when he raises his voice the vocal
energy is wonderful. This is more apparent,
even, in private conversation than IN public
speaking. There Is perhaps not another voice in
Washington so well calculated to terrify a waiter
and make him move around IL lively manner.

The Second Term Sensation.

Nothing more is heard of the story that
the President doesn't want second term!
Senator Vest has been pumped dry by the
reporters, and other would-be eminent states
men who have attempted to contribute some
thing TO the second term sensational story,
have nothing more to say. Nothing has
appeared in print, however, that satisfies
the country that the President is tired of
his office, and has made up his mind not
to be candidate for another term If his
party wants him.
II the President has made up his mind
not to continue in public life after his pres
ent term expires he has had splendid oppor-
tunity to say so. He has held his peace, and
it is fair TO conclude, therefore, that the
stories published week or so ago of his de-
termination to be satisfied with one term
had a very slender, If any, foundation
In all parts of the country there are ex-
pressions of satisfaction with his administra-
ton. Even the Kentucky State Democratic
Convention endorsed him heartily, notwith-
standing the efforts Of the Couriel'-Journdi
to make the Kentuckians believe that he
isn't much of Democrat. The fact that he
is nm honest man, and has given the country
an honest, clean and economical administra-
ton satisfies the people, and they want him
to serve them while longer. They haven't
had the sort of a President that he is for
long time, and they are afraid they won't
get another like him. The complainings of
a few sorehead politicians don't influence
them in the least. They know when they
have what they want, and they are not
